It goes without saying that nobody would opt for a dental extraction if presented with the option to choose. Unfortunately, in more instances than not, this cannot be avoided and a structure may have to be parted with. You see, the last thing our team wants is for you to lose a permanent tooth, but it is important to recognize that your oral health overall takes priority when it comes to any smile treatment. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist identifies various benefits of prosthetic dentistry, including the ability to address multiple concerns.

Addressing a Single Structure

While you may be taking every step possible to provide extensive preventive care, instances out of your control (such as a dental emergency or physical injury) may plumet over all of your hard work. While prevention cannot protect from every possible issue out there, it is certainly the foundation of a lifelong grin.

Sometimes, however, a dental infection may develop and progress relatively unnoticed. What’s more? The rate at which a dental infection such as decay or gum disease spreads can vary, and certain conditions can encourage this process to occur at a much more rapid rate. Because of this, our team recommends attending all of your routinely scheduled checkups and cleanings.

Before you or your dentist have an opportunity to notice the issue at hand, an entire tooth may become significantly compromised. When a tooth has to come out, however, it is important for your functional and structural oral health that the structure is replaced. Fortunately, this can be done relatively efficiently with a dental implant. To learn more about this process and what your options are, give our office a call today.

Spanning a Gap

The ability to complete your smile with lifelike care is not limited to just that, and restored oral function is a major benefit of dental implants. Not only do dental implants allow your crown restoration to absorb the pressure of your bite, but they can be used to address varying degrees of tooth loss. For example, structural loss tends to occur in a pattern, with neighboring structures becoming affected next. With the help of an implant-retained bridge, our team can span the gap of missing teeth and secure your prosthetic with a single implant on both sides. Give our team a call to learn more.

Customizable Solutions

If implant dentistry can be used for bridges, does this mean they apply to dentures as well? To answer your question, reader, yes, they do! As a matter of fact, your dentist will work with you to determine a custom treatment plan for your needs, whatever they may be.
